Report: Anti-Trump FBI Agent Conducted Michael Flynn Interview

The FBI agent who was kicked off of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia team over the summer for sending pro-Clinton and anti-Trump text messages took part in the Jan. 24 interview with then-national security adviser Michael Flynn, it was reported on Monday.

Strzok’s involvement in the interview is significant because of his apparent political bias. On Saturday, a day after Flynn’s guilty plea, The New York Times and Washington Post reported that Strzok sent anti-Trump and pro-Hillary Clinton messages last year to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and his mistress.

Both Page and Strzok worked on Mueller’s Russia investigation, which started in May after the firing of James Comey as FBI director.

Strzok oversaw both the Clinton email and Russia collusion investigations. He conducted the July 2, 2016 interview with Hillary Clinton herself. Several weeks later, he was handpicked to oversee the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
